Torch's Place: Nov 7, 2013

The Problem with Prius. Just to be clear, I don't really have anything against the Toyota Prius. I'm not really a fan of any cars from the orient but that's just me. As I've driven around I've learned that there are two types of Prius drivers. The one in front of you and the one behind you. If you have seen a Prius you know it has absolutely nothing to do with style. He's done his bit for Mother Earth and now he just needs to get where he's going.now! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Torch's Politico: The Barney Frank Recession
http://torch-politico.blogspot.com/2009/02/barney-frank-recession.html
Thursday, February 19, 2009. The Barney Frank Recession. Lots of people didn't qualify for mortgages. It wasn't necessarily their fault. It wasn't personal. They just needed to work harder, save more and/or set their sights on somewhat less of a house. It was quite inevitable. Which pretty much makes them all Barneys. I recommend going to the Patriot Post at http:/ patriotpost.us/. Vol 9 no.7 to read Mark Alexander's spin on the economic recession. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My Kind o' Places.

Travel Note 27 June 2008. I have been remiss in not keeping up with my travels! Since the last time I posted I have been back to Taiwan to finish up the squadron at Hualein and I spent a couple of weeks at Aviano Air Base in Italy near Venice getting the US F-16 pilots there started with their Link 16. We sped across the desert to return to Tabuk to finish the day trip. And host other Link 16 platforms at Tabuk. Meanwhile, the forecast is for lots of sun and, since summer is upon us, heat! Just in case t...

Travel Note 2 March 2008. All of yesterday was spent traveling from Boston to Taipei via Atlanta and Narita (Tokyo). It's quite the marathon and you're pretty beat up when you get in. I spent a half a day in Taipei waiting for the flight to Hualien. The Grand Hyatt in Taipei is pretty nice! Breakfast is a huge buffet and you could load up for the day there. And it's complementary for us! The job search continues! It seems that Jacobs is willing to meet everone's salaries.except mine! My Kind o' Places.

Travel Note 5 March 2008. The last few days have been quite busy and rather long. We actually brief half the mission as opposed to sitting in the briefing to answer questions and correct misspeaks. With two missions to brief, monitor and debrief it makes for a long day. There is usually a simulator in there, too. But the pilots are eager to learn which is good. Last night we got to feel the earth move! Today wasn't such a good day as we learned in the morning that the base lost an airplane. Retired fight...

Travel Note 9 March 2008. The training is going well here in Hualien dispite the down days for the accident. They haven't found the aircraft or the pilot and I thing that they probably never will. The pilots are anxious to learn and learning well by making all the common mistakes. The instructors are especially eager since they will be doing the instructing soon. Another week here for me before I head back next weekend. I spent the better part of yesterday touring Taroko Gorge. It was pretty cool! My nee...

Torch's Place: Torch vs. Chipmunk
http://torch-place.blogspot.com/2011/09/torch-vs-chipmunk.html
Torch vs. Chipmunk. We had a cat some time ago. She was a feral cat that we tamed after spending about five years in the woods behind our house. It took a couple of years but she became very comfortable in our home but was still an outdoor cat. She handled our move pretty well and still loved to be out of doors. There are lots of recommendations for treatments to put down around the house that smell like coyotes or otherwise scare them away. But they are somewhat expensive and you have to keep it up ...

I'm off to Utah for a week. It'll be fun except for the part where we install my oldest as a new freshman at BYU. Not that I'm not thrilled for her! She's worked very hard and has earned her spot and I'm sure she will have a wonderful time. It's time, but. And of course communicating is a lot different than when I was a kid. Texting, e-mail, phone calls, Facebook. But there's nothing like walking in the front door and seeing that smiling face and hearing 'Daddy! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my comple...
